Moore's Paradox

New Essays on Belief, Rationality, and the First Person

Edited by Mitchell S. Green and John N. Williams

Description

G. E. Moore observed that to assert, 'I went to the pictures last Tuesday but I don't believe that I did' would be 'absurd'. Over half a century later, such sayings continue to perplex philosophers. In the definitive treatment of the famous paradox, Green and Williams explain its history and relevance and present new essays by leading thinkers in the area.
